Breadcrumbs Issue in Google Search Console

Hi @siennasaylor

Thanks for using Yoast SEO plugin and also for reaching out to us about the issue with the breadcrumb schema.

I checked both the URLs you have shared with us and noticed that the “Either ‘name’ or ‘item.name’ should be specified” error is showing. This error occurs mostly when the Breadcrumb title is missing within the breadcrumb schema. So could you please edit both pages, navigate to the Yoast metabox and try to add the Breadcrumb title? You can find out the step-by-step information at our help center.

Hi @josevarghese

I am not getting any editable option to add the Breadcrumb title.

The same issue I am facing on the webpage https://southlondoncollege.org/all-courses/ so I have added separate code within the page for checking its work or not.

<script type=”application/ld+json”>
{
“@context”: “https://schema.org/&#8221;,
“@type”: “BreadcrumbList”,
“itemListElement”: [{
“@type”: “ListItem”,
“position”: 1,
“name”: “Home”,
“item”: “https://southlondoncollege.org/&#8221;
},{
“@type”: “ListItem”,
“position”: 2,
“name”: “All Courses”,
“item”: “https://southlondoncollege.org/all-courses/&#8221;
}]
}
</script>`

By adding the above code to the webpage I am getting an error:

“Breadcrumbs – 2 items detected: Some are invalid”

Hi @siennasaylor

Thanks for reaching out to us. Can you please confirm whether the Breadcrumbs for your theme is enabled within the Yoast SEO > Search Appearance > Breadcrumbs (tab) > navigate to the bottom and under the Enable Breadcrumbs for your theme > please toggle to Enabled. If the option is set as Disabled, you mostly won’t notice the option to add the Breadcrumb title within the Yoast metabox.

You can find out the steps at our help center.

Hi @josevarghese

I have checked the Breadcrumbs option it was Disabled so I set it to Enabled. After that, I am able to see the Breadcrumb title within the Yoast metabox. I have updated the Breadcrumb title but still, the issue has not to get fixed. Getting the same error again.

Hey @siennasaylor,

I’ve opened up the /all-courses/ URL and the 2 others in the Schema Validator and I’m not able to see any Breadcrumbs issues anymore. See https://validator.schema.org/#url=https%3A%2F%2Fsouthlondoncollege.org%2Fregister%2F.
